The maximum allowable pressure at which a system or piece of equipment is designed to operate safely. The extremes of this range should be determined in accordance with the expected pressure range the device must operate within. It is common practice that this value should not exceed 75% of the devices maximum rated range. For example: if the device has a maximum rated range of 100 psi then the working range should not exceed 75 psi.

Search Logic:

User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

The diameter of the gauge. The dial size is usually determined by the readability requirements; larger for remote reading and smaller where the gauge is close to the operator. Generally, a requirement for higher accuracy dictates a larger dial size for display of readable small pressure scale increments.

User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

The difference (error) between the true value and the indication expressed as percent of the span. It includes the combined effects of method, observer, apparatus and environment. ASME B40.1 and DIN accuracy grades are frequently used: Grade 4A (0.1% Full Scale) Grade 3A (0.25% Full Scale) Grade 2A (0.5% Full Scale) Grade 1A (1% Full Scale) Grade A (1% middle half, 2% first and last quarters) Grade B (2% middle half, 3% first and last quarters) Grade C (3% middle half, 4% first and last quarters) Grade D (5% Full Scale) Measurement Accuracy (% of Full Scale). In cases where the accuracy differs between middle span and the first and last quarters of the scale, the largest % error is reported.

All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.

Vacuum range is the span of pressures from the lowest vacuum pressure to the highest vacuum pressure (e.g., from 0 to 30 inches of mercury VAC).

Strain gages (strain-sensitive variable resistors) are bonded to parts of the structure that deform as the pressure changes. These strain gages are typically used as elements in a Wheatstone bridge circuit, which is used to make the measurement.

Piezoresistive sensors are based on semiconductor technology. The change in resistance is not only because of a change in the length and width (as it is with strain gage) but because of a shift of electrical charges within the resistor. These are very sensitive devices.

Piezoelectric pressure sensors measure dynamic and quasi-static pressures. The common modes of operation are charge mode, which generates a high-impedance charge output; and voltage mode, which uses an amplifier to convert the high-impedance charge into a low-impedance output voltage.

An extremely thin layer of material is deposited on a substrate by sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, or other technique. This technology incorporates a compact design with good temperature stability. There are a variety of materials used in thin film technology, such as titanium nitride and polysilicon.

Analog current levels or transmitters such as 4 – 20 mA are suitable for sending signals over long distances. Current is imposed on the output circuit proportional to the measurement. Feedback is used to provide the appropriate current regardless of line noise and impedance.

RS232 and RS485 are serial communication protocols that transmit data one bit at a time. RS232 provides a standard interface between data terminal and data communications equipment. RS485 can be transformed into a multi-point application.

Parallel outputs such as printer ports and Centronics ports transmit data in groups of bits. The general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) or IEEE 488 is a popular parallel interface for connecting computers, peripherals, and laboratory instruments.

The highway addressable remote transducer (HART®) protocol uses 1200 baud frequency shift keying (FSK) based on the Bell 202 standard to superimpose digital signals on conventional 4-20 mA analog signals. This enables two-way communication and facilitates the transmission of information beyond normal process variables to and from smart field instruments. The HART protocol communicates without interrupting the analog signal and allows a host application (master) to receive two or more digital updates per second from a field device (slave). Because they are phase-continuous, the digital FSK signals do not interfere with the analog 4-20 mA signals. HART is a registered trademark of the HART Communication Foundation.

The process fieldbus (PROFIBUS®) is a popular, open communication standard used in factory automation, process automation, motion control, and safety applications. PROFIBUS is standardized in IEC 71158 and IEC 61784 and is suitable for both fast, time-critical applications and complex communication tasks. PROFIBUS is a registered trademark of PROFIBUS International.

The FOUNDATION fieldbus is a serial, all-digital, two-way communication system that serves as a local area network (LAN) for factory instrumentation and control devices. It uses a line or tree topology and distributed data transfer (DDT). In the hierarchy of digital networks, the FOUNDATION fieldbus is on the lower end.
